Naruto: Swarm System

"Feed him to the tree."

Now that Isshiki had become pure chakra energy, he was perfect for feeding the Divine Tree.

Although the best method would be for Shishou to absorb him.

However, firstly, Isshiki's chakra was too immense, and Shishou would need someone to help him resist Isshiki's seals if he wanted to absorb it.

Secondly, the Ōtsutsuki clan's Kama ability was too unpredictable. Shishou didn't want to get involved before truly reaching the level of the Six Paths.

With his current relationship with Kaguya, reaching the Six Paths was a certainty. There was no need to risk it for temporary gains.

Moreover, once Isshiki was fed to the Divine Tree, Shishou might even be able to get some compensation from Kaguya.

"Okay."

Hearing Shishou's suggestion, Kaguya immediately nodded in agreement.

Chakra was a product of the Divine Tree, and without a physical body as a carrier, chakra had no choice but to be absorbed by the Divine Tree.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki: "..."

Hearing that Kaguya was planning to feed him to the Divine Tree, the soul attached to the sealing jar hesitated and then turned to flee.

"Hmph!"

Kaguya snorted coldly, the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead flashing. With the activation of Amenominaka, the surrounding space changed again, bringing the three of them to the front of the Divine Tree.

Crack!

The massive Divine Tree opened an eye and stared at the sealing jar containing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

The Divine Tree, having once consumed half of Isshiki's body, was very familiar with his chakra.

Crash!!!

Instantly, countless tendrils extended from the Divine Tree, binding the sealing jar tightly, and then opened its mouth wide.

"Ten Tails, I am a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan's main family. You can't eat me, you can't eat me..."

Facing the frantic screams of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, the Divine Tree opened its mouth wide and swallowed him whole. Then it settled back down, returning to its tree form.

Watching this scene, Shishou narrowed his eyes.

The Ōtsutsuki clan cultivated Ten Tails to plant Divine Trees and obtain the Chakra Fruit, and to cultivate a Ten Tails into a Divine Tree, they needed to sacrifice an Ōtsutsuki clan member.

The relationship between the Divine Tree and the Ōtsutsuki clan was indeed enigmatic.

However, seeing the once-arrogant Isshiki, who could pin down Naruto and Sasuke in the original story, being utterly helpless against Kaguya was beyond Shishou's expectations.

Kaguya, seeing Isshiki being consumed by the Divine Tree, felt no joy.

Because according to Shishou's original plan, once Isshiki was dealt with, it would be time for him to return to the future.

The scene fell silent.

After a long time, Kaguya placed her hand on the Divine Tree, extracting some of its power and transferring it to Shishou.

Then, she gently hugged Shishou, pressing close to him, and asked:

"If history changes, will I really never meet you?"

She truly wished to keep Shishou by her side.

Shishou nodded, "Yes, if history changes, everything will change."

"I was born a thousand years later. If history changes significantly, I might never be born, and I will eventually disappear."

Hearing this, Kaguya bit her lip and said, "Can you stay with me for a while longer?"

She had grown used to Shishou's presence, used to him arranging everything for her. The thought of him leaving made her feel lost and reluctant.

Shishou sighed deeply.

"Alright."

As he spoke, Shishou embraced Kaguya and kissed her.

This time, Kaguya did not run away.

...

With Isshiki dead.

Shishou and Kaguya returned to their daily lives.

Six months later, Shishou finally embarked on his journey home.

But before that, to ensure she would meet Shishou again in a thousand years, Kaguya willingly sealed all memories of Shishou from herself and Hagoromo and Hamura.

However, the legends of the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors being Kaguya's husband were somehow recorded in the people's annals.

After leaving the Land of Ancestors, Shishou stayed in Shikkotsu Forest, training diligently with the Great Slug Sage to achieve perfect Sage Mode.

To ensure history ran its normal course, he planned to return to the future only after Kaguya was sealed.

Several years after Shishou left, Gamamaru of Mount Myōboku sought out Hagoromo and Hamura.

After that, events followed the original story.

Kaguya, having lost her memories of Shishou, resumed having humans serve the Divine Tree, leading to fierce opposition from Hagoromo and Hamura, resulting in a mother-son fallout.

With Gamamaru's help, Hagoromo and Hamura successfully sealed Kaguya on the moon.

"This is why Shishou was so vague about the future."

Sealed on the moon by Hagoromo and Hamura, Kaguya's memories of Shishou were unsealed, filling her heart with bitterness.

When Shishou first proposed that history should run its course to meet him again, Kaguya had suspected she might face unexpected consequences.

She just didn't expect it to be like this.

"Shishou, you better wait for me..."

With a whisper, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile.

Secretly witnessing Hagoromo and Hamura sealing Kaguya, Shishou sighed deeply.

Kaguya's sealing was an unchangeable historical trajectory; otherwise, his very existence might be affected.

"Kaguya, wait for me."

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Shishou sighed softly and turned away.

Back in Shikkotsu Forest, he sealed the Great Slug Sage's memories of him and then left, heading to the location of the Dragon Vein.

At the Dragon Vein, Shishou formed a hand seal with one hand, stimulating the Dragon Vein to erupt.

Boom!!!

Under Shishou's stimulation, the Dragon Vein erupted with a powerful energy pillar.

"Finally, it's time to go back."

Muttering to himself, Shishou, wrapped tightly in his adamantine armor, stepped into the energy pillar of the erupting Dragon Vein.

In the chaotic temporal currents, Shishou felt a force calling and pulling him forward.

"Shishou!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to Shishou.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yugito colliding straight into his arms, holding him tightly.

Beneath them, a massive array slowly dimmed, the very time-space summoning array that he and the Great Slug Sage had devised.

Around the array stood Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Pakura, Konan, and others, all looking at him with joy. However, they restrained themselves from rushing forward like Yugito due to the presence of others.

After all, they were the Kage of their villages and had to maintain some decorum.

Seeing the women around him, Shishou smiled happily:

"I'm back."

Seeing Yugito in Shishou's arms, Tsunade pouted and snorted.

"Tonight, you're going to be drained dry."
